![]() After some auditing and bugfixes, the program is set to become a powerful and popular tool for instant, idiot-proof, and surveillance-resistant communication. Now that Tor Messenger is in beta, however, its developers are welcoming the outside world to scrutinize the software for bugs. "As such, don't rely on this product for strong anonymity just yet." "Please note that this release is for users who would like to help us with testing the product but at the same time who also understand the risks involved in using beta software," writes Singh, quoting the Tor Project's blog post about the release. But they still warn users not to trust Tor Messenger until it's been more comprehensively audited. The group's developers point out that they've programmed the software in JavaScript wherever possible instead of the libpurple codebase written in C and used by Pidgin and Adium-a piece of code known for its bountiful security bugs. But Tor Messenger is still in beta, and like any early privacy software, it should be approached with caution. The Tor Project, a non-profit whose diverse funding sources range from the US State Department to the National Science Foundation to Reddit, has a strong reputation for releasing secure software. The result is that anyone can download the software and in seconds start sending messages to their pre-existing contacts that are not only strongly encrypted, but tunneled through Tor's maze of volunteer computers around the world to hide the sender's IP address. It's also compatible with the same XMPP or "Jabber" chat protocol used by millions of Facebook and Google accounts, as well as desktop clients like Adium for Mac and Pidgin for Windows. The app, perhaps more than any other desktop instant messaging program, is designed for both simplicity and privacy by default: It integrates the "Off-the-Record" (OTR) protocol to encrypt messages and routes them over Tor just as seamlessly as the Tor Browser does for web data. On Thursday the Tor Project launched its first beta version of Tor Messenger, its long-in-the-works, open source instant messenger client. Now the non-profit Tor Project has officially released another piece of software that could bring that same level of privacy to instant messaging: a seamless and simple app that both encrypts the content of IMs and also makes it very difficult for an eavesdropper to identify the person sending them. The anonymity network Tor has long been the paranoid standard for privacy online, and the Tor Browser that runs on it remains the best way to use the web while revealing the least identifying data. Ask your friend if he is using his Mac and ask him to enable. ![]() He may have disabled screen shaping in the Mac settings for instance, or he may be using his iPhone so he cannot perform screen sharing.
